'Up to 10,000 troops could be deployed in the UK in the event of a Paris-style attack, David Cameron has said, as he announced £12bn extra defence spending.

The PM said ministers wanted to replace the Trident nuclear deterrent, but the estimated cost had risen and completion been put back until "the early 2030s".

The number of civilians employed by the MoD is to be reduced by almost 30% by the end of the Parliament, he added.

Dai Hudd, the Prospect union general secretary, called this "devastating".

Setting out the government's Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), Mr Cameron announced plans for investment in two 5,000-strong "strike brigades", additional F-35 jets, maritime patrol aircraft and high-altitude drones.'

I hope they kill every man , woman and child within the ISIS areas . There is no need to think about ‘liberation’ . There is no one to liberate , they are ALL contaminated and in league with the worst demonic consciousness to ever infect the human race . Better to just wipe them out and then allow the areas to repopulate with all the refugees that have chose to flee .

Far fewer will be needed if rules of engagement are wide open.
